| "son of a bitch" -> "hijo de puta". and when you insult somebody calling 'em "bitch!", the translation would be "puta!" too, not "perra" or "hijo de perra". But if it the song doesn't say "putos" then i guess it doesn't matter... | |

| This is a rare time when a cover of a song actually exceeds the original. Rage does a really good job of capturing the anger and viciousness of a person who takes joy in poppin' a cap in a busta's ass. I especially love the line "Didn't have to blast him but I did it anyway. Ha, ha, ha, young punk had to pay!" Awesome. I thought "Puto" was rhetoric these days, but I guess not. 'Course, I'm also versed in spanish so maybe I just know it naturally. And it wouldn't make sense for Rage to say "negroes." For God sakes, Zach De La Rocha is Hispanic (Mexican specifically if I recall correctly.) | |
